After School Enrichment Program 

Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center's summer camp has over 60 children ranging from five to twelve years old. The program runs Monday through Friday from 2:00 to 6:00 pm during the school year and full days during the summer. Children are picked up from school, have a healthy, homemade meal, get tutoring and homework help, and participate in fitness, arts, and community improvement activities. In addition, there are many group projects and special events, like our multicultural sharing day and holiday parties, and over the summer, at least two field trips per week. 

Outcomes for the children

Eligible elementary school children and youth in the Social Justice Club have one-on-one tutoring at least three days per week. Every child is given general help to complete their homework each day.
